Herein find The Copper Scroll of Health and Clean Energy Foods.
- Blueberries / Huckleberries
They contain ultra levels of antioxidants, which stop evil free radicals from ravaging the body. - Brown Rice
Rich in fiber, which means it reduces the risk of heart diseases, evens out spikes in blood sugar levels, and aids digestion. Brown rice is also packed with many excellent nutrients such as, B vitamins, manganese, selenium and iron.
The image on the right is a brown rice power dish. It’s a WYSIWYG meal: brown rice, asparagus, chickpeas, tomato, bell peppers, & almond slices. - Avacado
Why is avocado the “alphabet fruit”? Because it provides the body with vitamins A, C, E, K and B6. The unlikely fruit is full of riboflavin, niacin, folate and pantothenic acid. The nutrients in avocados may PREVENT both rheumatoid and osteo-arthritis. Not only that, avacados can reduce the signs of aging, regulate blood sugar and improve vision. - Chia Seeds
Did you know that Chia is Mayan for “strength”? These miracle seeds contain some of the highest plant sources of essential fatty acids (omega-3 and omega-6), which support the immune, cardiovascular, nervous, and reproductive systems. But that’s not all chia has to offer: the seeds are a balanced blend of protein, carbohydrates, fats, and fiber. Not only that, they can absorb 7 times their weight in water, which means they are the perfect way to re-hydrate quickly. Read my other post for easy yummy Chia Recipes - Cantaloupe
Want energy? The unique blends of B complex vitamins with fiber and good carbohydrates will deliver it, WITHOUT the wild swing in blood sugar you get from Cliff Bars and the like. - Raw Oats
Another superb food. It lowers cholesterol, boosts immune response, and has lots of fiber. Even though it has trace amounts of gluten, studies have shown that raw oats are well tolerated by both adults and children with celiac disease. - Raw Almonds
Soak them in water to activate nutrients and increase gustatory delight. What a tasty, rich source of vitamin E, calcium, phosphorous, iron and magnesium! Almonds also contain EFAs, zinc, selenium, copper and niacin. As a result, they enhance your brain function, your skin tone, and your energy levels. They can be expensive, so they might not be that good for your wallet, but once eat them you’ll be smart enough to figure how to earn more money, thereby buying a newer more expensive wallet with more room for all of your extra money for more almonds.
1/2. Chia-cholate Delight Energy Bars (Yes, it’s packed with natural sugars–told you it was a 1/2 food; it does have some redemptive fiber in it though.)
Chia-colate Nut Energy Bars
Ingredients- 1 1/2 cups pitted dates. (Make sure there are no seeds. Date seeds kill weak blenders and make terrifying sounds in good ones.)
- 1/3 cup raw cocoa powder
- 1/3 cup whole chia seeds
- 3/4 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- 1 cup raw Almonds
Directions
Place dates in bowl of food processor; puree until thick paste forms.
Add cocoa powder, chia seeds, vanilla. blend until everything is well mixed.
Add nuts, blend until nuts are finely chopped and well distributed through the mixture.
Transfer date mixture to wax paper, and press / roll mixture into 1/2 inch thick rectangle. Wrap tightly with the waxed paper, and then with foil. Refrigerate overnight for solid bars or eat warm. Make sure you store them in the fridge, they’ll spoil of they’re left out too long. Add Stevia or fresh apple fruit juice (juice it yourself, don’t buy it at the store) if you have a sweet tooth.
